‘I have more history with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association than I have respect for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,’ he told the magazine.

The actor claimed he brought the matter to the HFPA at the time, which prompted an internal investigation that eventually dismissed the alleged sexual misconduct as ‘a joke.’
